title = "8. A specimen-exchange device for an ultra-high vacuum atom-probe field-ion microscope",
abstract = "A specimen-exchange device is described for an ultra-high vacuum field-ion microscope (FIM). This device completely eliminates the long pump-down period that is required if the FIM chamber is brought back to atmospheric pressure. The pressure in an air-lock is reduced to 10-6 torr before the exchange takes place and the pressure in the FIM chamber remains below 10-7 torr during the exchange and it drops to less than 3 × 10-9 torr within 15 min after the exchange.",

note = "Funding Information: This research was supported by the US Department of Energy. Additional support was received from the National Science Foundation through the use of the technical facilities of the Materials Science Center at Cornell University. We wish to thank Mr Anthony Babbaro for performing the machine-shop work and Mr Robert Whitmarsh for technical assistance. D N Seidman wishes to thank the Lady Davis Foundation for a Visiting Professorship, which made his attendance at the Fifth Israel Vacuum Congress possible, and Dr Yohanan Margoninski of the Physics Department of the Hebrew University for suggesting that we present and publish our work on the specimen-exchange device.",
